I see everyone is posting that they need to have the "new" version birth certificate for the interview process. But how do you tell whether you have the new version vs the old version? Anyone have a idea of the year they changed?

Thanks!

Hey Isley,

The new one is vertically read and blue and pink in color. If you Fiance is applying for a BC now or has done so in the last 6-9 months it should be the new one!

It looks like this...


Love ya and PM me if you have any other questions!

Bless-ed,

Thanks Chica!! That's a pretty looking one - much nicer than mine. His is from 2005 - probably not the right one.

I know they are beautiful. I changed mine, not because I needed to, but I like the way this one looked. I'm glad I did it, when I went to get my residency stamp in Jamaica they asked for the newer version (even though they told me on the phone my old birthcertificate was fine).

This is how the marriage certificates look too!! The nicest marriage cert I've ever seen.
